THE VELVETEEN SUBMISSION

From Great Northern Audio comes three audio delights. The first, DRUMMER'S DOME, is an audio drama about an aging drummer who builds a dome that turns out to have special properties. Even better is THE VELVETEEN SUBMISSION, recorded live, which is best described as a bizarre farce. Last is a performance by a science-fictional piano man (à la Mark Russell) who tells/sings a story of THE CLONES' DAY PARADE. The dramas are well-acted and great fun. The live recording is especially enjoyable--tight, but containing some of the spontanaeity that always accompanies live audio. S.D. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 02]
